An analysis of the logs of Mt.Gox revealed the suspicious activity of the bot Willie
Deceived users of the Mt.Gox exchange have long suspected that the loss of $ 460 million from the exchange was not a consequence of the software bug, as stated by the management, but the result of the planned and disguised operation of this manual represented by the executive director of the company Mark Kerpeles, a programmer of a very dubious reputation .An analysis of the trade transaction logs on the Mt.Gox exchange allows us to conclude that the matter here is really unclean. The greatest suspicion is caused by the activity of a certain bot, who from different accounts for more than half a year systematically bought bitcoins on the stock exchange (every 5-10 minutes, changing the purchase amount randomly within 10-20 BTC). Accounts for the bot changed every few days, while their numbers were in the upper range User_ID, not available for free registration. The most important thing is that not a single dollar was written off from the bot accounts (the “USD spent” column contains the characters “??”). The bot worked even when the exchange was in downtime. Over the last three months, for which logs were preserved, he managed to buy 270,000 BTC for $ 112 million.
The bot was activated in July 2013. It is no coincidence that from that moment began the rapid growth of the cryptocurrency rate.

Suspicious activity on the stock exchange has attracted the attention of traders before. They even gave the bot a personal name: Willy, because when you see him every day at the stock exchange, you want to somehow call a familiar character.
Although the transactions were carried out from different accounts, they have something in common: for example, the value “??” in the “User Country” and “User State” columns. This is an unusual meaning: it usually contains either a country / state code (for verified users), or nothing (unverified users?) Or “!!” (suspicious users?).
If, however, to summarize Willy's purchases from different accounts, then you can notice another clear pattern: for everyone a purchase was made for a round sum (usually $ 2,500,000), after which a new account was opened.

The author of the study believes that the bot Willie actually belongs to Mark Kerpeles, who deliberately brought the stock exchange to bankruptcy. Of course, all of the above facts are only circumstantial evidence, but they have accumulated too much to be a coincidence. Obviously, Willy had a privileged position in the system. This is especially clear when he traded, even after turning off the front of the exchange.
In addition to Willie, another suspicious bot acted on the stock exchange, it was called Markus. He also has a high User_ID number, he bought bitcoins at random prices for 8 months, and he stopped working 7 hours before Willy started working. For all the time, Marcus bought about 300,000 BTC.
Marcus's activity is referred to as a “glitch in the system” on this set of charts.with visualization of activity on Mt.Gox.
Thus, preferred bots Marcus and Willie bought about 570,000 BTC for a couple, without spending a cent on it. Money withdrawn on third-party wallets Bitcoin, the owner of which, of course, unknown.
